Um, no. NYS Vehicle and Traffic code only applys to vehicles on public roads. That’s why we can drive like crazy people at an autocross, even with cars that are completely unregistered. If you have a big circular driveway you could drive around in circles all day on it, with no plates, and the cops couldn’t say shit to you (assuming you didn’t break any noise ordinances or something).
However, there may be a local ordinance that does not allow you to STORE unregistered vehicles in front of your house, even in your driveway. All it takes is a couple rednecks with a couple camaro’s sitting on blocks to get the neighbors pissed off and “no storage” ordinance gets passed.
